Y’all are promoting violence and not peace, sheesh , the news can’t even display the people that were laying on the ground yesterday due to the deaths of Black individuals
So we no longer have a need to social distance?
Can someone please explain to me why Black Lives Matter is a great slogan yet White Lives Matter is seen as incredible racist? They should both be equally important to spread the equality we ask for.
Where are all the social distancing shamers now?
Let's stop pretending this is about George Floyd. Stop associating his name with this violence and hatred.
Several days of looting, spray painting and burning have done thousands of dollars of improvements to Philadelphia. phillyprotest Philadelphia phillyriots GeorgeFloydProtests
Black Lives Matter!
RealFactTruth Over the death of who? Whos that?
Stand UP for your rghits
This is what the Democratic party has done to America. This is the lawless society the DEMOCRATS have wanted for years. These rioters are burning business after business to the ground. NEVEREVERVOTEDEMOCRAT WAKEUPUSA StopTheHate
Protesters do not jump on police cars & try to destroy them. Protesters do not set police cars & American flags on fire. Protesters do not set buildings on fire. It is disgraceful that fake news uses the word protesters. These American haters are domestic terrorists & arsonists.
DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS HAVE FAILED AMERICA
Zie er mooi zo’n lucht shotje, weer eens wat anders. Ik bedoel ander perspectiefje... Mag best ietsje scherper vind ik hoor.
longlivedemocracy
They need to bring in the military to deal with these animals there is a difference between protesting and gang violence
Covid cases through the roof in 2 weeks and people cant self quarantine in burnt down buildings.
How about y’all head over to SALLIE MAE P.O. Box 8377 Philadelphia PA 19101-8377 - Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼😩😩😩
Have to agree. Keep the border closed will be necessary.
JoyceCarolOates A country which has exported wars..sold billions and billions of dollars worth arms to the autocrats world over is now in flames..seems will consume.. The blacks should take over that country.. I strongly feel that the oppressed will be more Democratic and eventually world +
I would disagree that these are “protests”, in my understanding of the English language, they are riots and they have nothing to do with the awful death of Mr.Floyd. I continue to hope journalists use proper words to document events. I am disappointed in your commentary.
_ctierra did you see Philly
Monday is work day. That's all I'm thinking about.
Philadelphia Police need to strike! Kenney the Coward doesn't stand up for the men & women risking their lives for this city everyday!
Burn a family store down. That's the way to win hearts and minds over.
LoL - It's what they do and then they wonder why businesses don't want to open stores in black neighborhoods.
Filthadelphia
realDonaldTrump is loving this shit
Some crazy person on fb tried telling me that I am complicit in the institutionalized racism of North America simply because I'm white. We need to start judging people as INDIVIDUALS because tribalism got us into this mess and it certainly won't get us out of it.
How much money is the LiberalMedia making off of protests they claim to care about? nytimes washingtonpost AJEnglish they're dying 4 anarchy to push their agenda & reap a profit!
So tired of all this winning...this is three and a half years into a Trump presidency...America can't survive another four years of this.
scarlett_0hara These aren't protests anymore. They are carefully organized riots.
Field Day!
scarlett_0hara “Aerial view of a large gathering rioters...” There, FIFY.
And not a job holder in the bunch.
Protest all they want. Break the law then incarcerate their ass!!!
I would say don’t burn down the city, but it’s philly so that was bound to happen.
Bullsh*t it isn't over Mr Floyd
Bring in the Army!! Armed!!
Omg!! Send in the troops!!
I think this has gone beyond protesting
andibeth012 Hubby says they’re all crowded together as well. I’m worried about COVID-19. About both sides of the protests. I understand the violence. A body can only be pushed so far. I’m afraid of the repercussions. I’m afraid for our people. 😔
Oof
Sooner or later Police/National guard will resort to lethal force. This is not a protest, its chaos.
Demonstrators lol, demonstrating how to burn buildings.
You misspelt 'rioters'
The Governors of all these States needs to get a full mobilization of the National Guard to be all in to stop Violence and let those who are there to protest peacefully and have their voices heard. GavinNewsom GovernorsOffice NYGovCuomo OregonGovBrown
Riots are not protests. I understand there’s pain and frustration but how long will innocent people who had nothing to do with this horrific murder suffer while their city is on fire, their property destroyed, and their merchandise stolen? This does nothing for the cause.
Keep burning things down!
what a beautiful sight
Liers
Some white guy with a face mask and an umbrella set this one too
Unnecessary violence. But hey, it's fun. Like videogames, NASCAR, MMA, school and cyber bullying, American foreign policy, the military-industrial complex and the 4th of July. IndependenceDay Floyd MLK USA
America has finally had enough of Trump racism. RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica. TrumpResignNow
Another POS city w a Democrat mayor. What’s the worst that could happen
This mob..incited by the media, and continues to be flamed by the likes of
So is that close to a walgreens or wallmart? 🤣
This is what happens when people have too much time on their hands. As far as I know the four police officers don't live in Philadelphia, so why they're burning innocent - and possibly black store owners' - people's buildings is beyond me. America is laughing stock of the world
More idiots
اشوفها والعه
JustinEmeryShow
Don’t commit crimes and don’t argue with the authorities. Things tend to work out in life with that simple philosophy.
Cop kills GeorgeFloyd COVID19 kills protesters I guess that’s the rationale for the looting - nothing left to lose
Anyone who sees this as a surprise has not been paying attention.
Most of these young white people there don't give a rat's ass about George Floyd's death. They are paid anarchists.
This isn't how a civilized society should conduct itself. This isn't how you enact change. This is needless destruction that only serves to hurt more innocents. This isn't justice, this is a gross injustice. Becoming what you claim to hate. You're no better than them now.
They're not demonstrators !!!
BlackLivesMatter
Funny how Trump hates MSM but they make his job easy when they put garbage out there like this lumping protesters with vandals. Not the same
All the looting of the clothing stores, people are going to be dressed in March 2020 styles...ugh
Do these idiots not realize were in the middle of a pandemic
Out of town trash destroying people's lives. This isnt a protest.
AllResistNews Is this the way ABC is covering news now? By drone? OhMy CorporateMediaSucks
I think we are officially done with chapter covid 19....

Why are you dropping this social distancing stories just because they are on your side of the political scene?
Philly phillyprotest fo not let the police corral you in one place
What about social distancing?
Philadelphia sets cars on fire because they won a football game...
jeannefisher17 Covid 19 will explode. This is a potential health catastrophe.

Right cause this is what George Floyd would have wanted. Meet violence with more violence. This does nothing for that poor innocent man. Y'all make me sick.
None of the cities allowing this should get any federal funding to recover.
2 weeks and these morons will regret being out. COVID 19 for you all.
Huh, probably not a good idea with the whole pandemic thing going on.
Thugs
SheepDogSociety Please, 🙄🙄 This has nothing to do with Mr Floyd. These criminal acts diminish his memory and his life. People who destroy property and start fires are not demonstrators. They are criminals.
Before every day I opened Twitter, I saw Covid_19 update and worried how many people gonna died, now I opened Twitter saw violence, burning cars, protests, what is going on 2020?
Yet no mention of the non-whites who kill non-whites, including children, each day in Liberal cities. That gets a constant pass.
Why the use of the passive voice? Who set the fires? Is this a peaceful protest? What's your definition of peaceful? BTW, don't actions - setting police cars and vandalizing stores - speak louder than chants? And what chants are being shouted as the fires burn? protests riots
6-10 FEET APART PEOPLE!
Dumbass’s
This shit don't have anything to do with George Floyd. And you know it
And yet another city run by liberal progressives burning.
Filth a Delphia
SheepDogSociety PhillyMayor DA_LarryKrasner must be in heaven. This is right up their alley.
“Large gathering”? Just a couple of weeks ago, was counting “over a hundred protesters”, very fastidious about numbers when they were white and armed. Now it’s just “a large crowd” - when we can see clearly its thousands. All over the country!!!
SheepDogSociety Ok bring in the military End this nonsense already
Man that Rona is loving this.
Arrest these terror
The people wreaking havoc are leftist.
Btw everyone, remember that the protestors have mostly been peaceful i doubt anyone in the protest agreed with burning a police car
🗽👐🙏
Where’s the demonstrations and justice for tony timpo Oh wait this guy that was killed by police was not black
You hate to see it. No matter how noble the cause is, you always get these idiots who think they can use a legitimate protest as an opportunity for vandalism and violence. All these people are here to make change, and yet there are a handful who have to ruin it for everybody.
SorosFundsRiots
Nazis are infiltrated , braking windows , we saw them and the police behind
GOOGLE FIRES STARTED BY POLICE ACTIONS: 'Further, much of the property damage attributed to protesters is often the result of police action or inaction in the face of lawful public behavior, something I’ve witnessed from Ferguson to the far-right protests in Charlottesville.'
It is time for both Republicans and Democrats to bring justice for George Floyd and his family and fight against violent protests and make sure that this never happens again.
'peaceful protest' as cars and buildings are being burnt to the ground and businesses are being looted. rofl. Even the normies are waking up to the BS the media is spreading.
😟
AntifaTerrorists
No justice here Just another City on Fire 🔥 rich get richer and the poor stay poor
Sadly, this all started with Obama, he put the police down. In the same city, a white Australian woman was killed by a policeman in 2018. Did the whites riot No. But in the case a policeman is charged with Murder but we have riots?. Who are racists?
Somewhere in America. ‘Balitimore, LA, Philadelphia, Chicago ... as always. What’s on TV tonight?’
so, like a Superbowl win, but for justice
Lock them up!
Was it white nationalists? Lol I doubt any white nationalist would show up in any of those areas.
. Notice this BS ain't happening at 52nd & Market, Germantown & Chelten, Broad & Erie is it? Philadelphia phillystrong
What happened to social distancing?
mayor kenney good job
jim kenney go jog
Our govenor Wolf is too chicken 💩, but should declare martial law and nip this in the bud right now. I live in rural Pennsylvania, I could care less if Philadelphia dropped off the face of the earth. THIS HOWEVER HAS TO BE STOPPED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!
The media and city leaders had just got done praising the respectfulness of the march. Then they had to ruin it with car fires. Tonight will be people using the riot to help themselves with free tv's etc.
Mr. Floyds death is a disgrace. People destroying their neighborhoods and thousands of lives are terrorists and beyond recognizing Mr. Floyd. DO SOMETHING YOU COWARDS!
Ok now they have to start rioting? Jesus! They cannot just protest peacefully. AntifaTerrorists
Keep going..you have supporters everywhere.....Eastern Europe revisited!
weee208 That’s terror. Not protest. Idiots.
My heart is breaking....... again.
Protests shall be peaceful. When protesters turned into a riot involving destroying public properties, they became criminals! Period!!!!
So called peaceful protest, Nope rioting, once it goes violent its a riot, 😞😞😞
Vandalism, looting & violence isn’t activism.
Unfortunately, many vagrants with criminal intent are disguised among them. Praying for all major US cities tonight. Would George have wanted this?
How amazingly quick these spontaneous demonstrations formed. It's almost as if someone planned them. 🤔
It was peaceful all day. No violence from protesters at all.
look at all the White Supremacists in the crowd.
Guess what these protests will accomplish. Nada. Like always. There will always be a-hole, abusive cops. Luckily for us they are an incredibly small fraction of the population.
This must be stopped. What percentage of these people are on welfare get handouts or a bunch of socialist that has never done anything in your life except ask the government to keep them and look what they’re doing. A large percent of them.....
Ever stepped on a ant mound and watched what the ants did ? yea humans should be smarter EvilRioters
BURN IT DOWN!!!
What is the actual point of burning down your own communities? When this is all over, and businesses decide not to rebuild, what then? We will then hear the bitching from community leaders how the citizens don’t have access to goods.
its a gif lmao
Rather watch the space launch.. Something positive.
that’s Philly for you
I’m just can see a lot of people destroying the city.
Rioters ftfy
Why did these people not even wait for the criminal justice system to address George Floyd's murder? You could have always torn the country down afterwards.
The thugs are handing Trump his re-election in November 😂😂😂
Worlds super power china please help to black people in america
do u think someone will cook a veggie burger for me
Lol burning down their own slum housing buildings. Clever lot😂😂😂
Reports from those there say the fire was caused by police shooting tear gas and the sparks igniting the police car.
corona virus about to put everyone to bed
Destroying things is not the answer.
StephenGutowski “Demonstrators”
We are outraged by the murder of George Floyd - and we will rise up, peacefully, & demand that the cruel police officers are brought to justice. We will also continue working toward racial justice for all. GeorgeFloyd MinneapolisUprising Peacefulprotest BlackLivesMatters
Pants up dont loot
Demonstrators? More like left wing terrorists.
The 'parents' of these looting millenial criminals also need to spend some time in jail.
Good. Let's make the the Dear Leaders fear the populace again.
StephenGutowski 'protests' 🙄🙄🙄
A police SUV set ablaze in Philly. It was just sitting there minding its own business. Imagine being profiled like that? BlackLivesMatter
CCP is laughing at this stupid Americans who burn their country. Americans has the right to protest, but you don't have the right to damage other's property. In China, you can't even protest now. Show your quality, American.
'I can't breathe!, I can't breathe!' Then take off your masks, geez!
I bet it was the cops
I guess the whole social distancing is out the window. Just like that no risk of catching Covid-19, right?
And this really helps prove a point Vandalism plays no part in a protest for this cause. No reason to destroy property.
StephenGutowski No ABC. It's more riots you dumb assess
America need a leader right now.
America Look 👀 like World 🌎 War 3 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Pretty sure those are all white supremacists
idiots
Some serious action has to be taken to stop the destruction
This is what has been happening in other countries where America has been sponsoring demos. What goes round comes round. Start of the big fall.
Assholes need to get Shot, go home!
you mean the MURDER of GeorgeFloyd
COVID OVER
Why insist on calling it a demonstration or gathering when it’s actually a riot? 🤔
MGC3I I’m sorry if this offends anyone but, there are people (of every single ancestry) that want to this king of crap and will use any excuse. Rioting, looting and torching cities in other states is what an idiot thug does because no one will stop them,
So I guess the coronavirus can’t infect you if you’re standing against police brutality? That’s crazy
Firea burning already and YOU,enablers, want to call them “demonstrators” ... THEY ARE DomesticTerrorists AntifaTerrorists
Riots*
And IlhanMN is tweeting her support for the white supremacy factions who are organizing this.
People were looking for a chance to do this for a long time - this anger didn’t just appear out of a vacuum. It’s been building for as long as I can remember. Massive change to the social systems needs to happen
Urban forest fires - how they start and what you can do to stop them.
Sadly it's not about George anymore. After the first brick was thrown it changed to riot and destruction by Antifa. A left-wing terrorist org.
Far-right 'boogaloo' militants have embedded themselves in the ...
Why are bricks being stockpiled by government buildings?
Out of control.
UNIIIIITE BLOW TORCH!!
This is totally unexpectable and this is a pure vandalism and looting . This behaviour will only dived communities and will cause more violence. The demonstrations should be based on values and done peacefully to resolve the matter.
Everyone in this video is non essential and should be terminated.
NoJustice ? nopeace
Get your popcorn..
Disburse with water cannons, maybe if they lose their phones before they start looting and burning they will go away. I respect the peaceful protesters but not the criminals that are with them
It is no longer about the death of George Floyd and his memory is getting lost in this planned anarchy.
